B-CU: Change for good

B-CU Coach Brian Jenkins

Bethune-Cookman finished just 5-6 last season and Alvin Wyatt, the winningest coach in school history, was fired after 13 years on the job. The man replacing him, Brian Jenkins, had never been a head coach before and the Wildcats were picked to finish eighth in the nine-team Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference.

The initial transition was hardly smooth for Jenkins, 39. He dismissed 20 players from the team as he established a strict set of rules for the program. But rather than turn the team against the coach, that proved to be the first step in a fast rebuilding process that has led No. 13 Bethune-Cookman (10-1) into Saturday's FCS second-round playoff game against No. 10 New Hampshire (7-4).
